| chalone-like inhibition of dna synthesis in helminths. | chalone-like inhibitory activity was found in extracts from tissues of taenia crassiceps cysticercus and tissues of adult ascaris suum. the inhibitory effects were partially species nonspecific: the extracts from t. crassiceps larvae inhibit both t. crassiceps and mesocestoides corti larvae dna synthesis. extracts from a. suum, however, inhibit only t. crassiceps. besides them, the inhibitory factor from mouse brain inhibits both t. crassiceps and m. corti dna synthesis. when the inhibitory fact ... | 1985 | 3159635 |
| phosphoglycerides and derivatives in taenia crassiceps examined by 31p nmr spectroscopy. | examination of the larval stage of the tapeworm, taenia crassiceps, by 31p nmr spectroscopy revealed the presence of a major phosphoglyceride component. however, using saturation transfer, no exchange between glycerophosphorylcholine and phosphoglyceride or any other nmr-detectable phosphorus metabolites was detected. | 1988 | 3357104 |
| comparison of the in vitro translation capacity of taenia crassiceps metacestode mrna prepared by the phenol and cesium chloride method. | total rna of t. crassiceps metacestodes harvested from male and female nmri mice was prepared by both the phenol extraction technique and cesium chloride (cscl) gradient centrifugation. mrna was selected by oligo (dt)-cellulose affinity chromatography and used as the template for the in vitro translation of parasite polypeptides in a cell-free rabbit reticulocyte lysate. the template activity of the mrna obtained after cscl preparation was clearly higher, as shown by the amount of 35s-methionine ... | 1988 | 3413044 |

| transhydrogenase activities in the mitochondria of taenia crassiceps (zeder, 1800) cysticerci. | nadph/nad and nadh/nad transhydrogenase activities have been demonstrated in the mitochondrial fraction of taenia crassiceps cysticerci. these activities seem to result from the activities of two different enzyme systems. both transhydrogenase activities exhibited a high heat resistence and they were completely abolished only by the temperatures higher than 100 degrees c. the activity of nadh/nad transhydrogenase was rather high (116 nmol.min-1.mg-1 protein), but it was found to exhibit a low af ... | 1988 | 3417198 |
| levamisole--biological response modifier in taenia crassiceps--mouse experimental system. | levamisole, a common anthelminthic preparation, was used for the modification of the immune response of mice to vaccination with soluble antigen from taenia crassiceps. the combination of antigen with levamisole significantly increased the immunogenic effect of the antigen. metacestodes survived in 16.7% after one dose and in 42.9% after two doses of levamisole. the percentage of resistance was 97.7% and 67.8%. | 1988 | 3417199 |
| correlation of the results of ifat-dass and elisa tests in experimental cysticercosis of mice. | the sera of mice experimentally infected with taenia crassiceps were tested for the occurrence of the antibodies by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) and indirect immunofluorescence using defined antigen substrate spheres (ifat-dass). results of both tests were compared. from day 11 p.i. until the end of the experiment (day 108 p.i.) antibodies were detected by both tests. the maximal intensity of the elisa and ifat-dass reactions was observed between days 63 and 94 and days 14 and 4 ... | 1987 | 3556351 |

| suppression of taenia crassiceps during concurrent infections with mesocestoides corti in mice. | parasite burden (by volume) was measured in female mice of three strains given single or concurrent infections of mesocestoides corti and taenia crassiceps. significant suppression of t. crassiceps volume was observed over a range of m. corti inocula and occurred irrespective of whether m. corti was introduced before or after infection with t. crassiceps. suppression of t. crassiceps volume was greatest with larger inocula of m. corti and with increased duration of m. corti infection. no signifi ... | 1986 | 3754325 |
| study of the properties of alkaline phosphatase in taenia crassiceps (zeder, 1800) cysticerci. | the properties of alkaline phosphatase present in taenia crassiceps cysticerci were studied. approximately a half of the total activity was free and the remaining part was bound to membranes. kinetic studies did not show any differences between the free and bound alkaline phosphatases. it was found that high substrate concentrations produced an inhibitory effect on the enzyme. this effect was much greater at lower ph. ph optimum changed with the concentration of the substrate. | 1986 | 3758872 |
| contribution to the knowledge of aerobic processes in taenia crassiceps larvae (zeder, 1800). | respiration of homogenates and isolated mitochondria of t. crassiceps larvae was measured. respiration (about 70%) could be inhibited by cyanide, indicating that an important part is played by classical respiratory chain. when succinate was used as substrate, relatively low respiratory rates were measured, mitochondria showing higher affinity to nadh. above a half of respiratory rate remained unchanged even at very low oxygen concentrations. fumarate exhibited inhibitory activity on respiration ... | 1986 | 3804084 |
| [parasites present in foxes (vulpes vulpes) of the province of forli]. | in the period march 1983 - march 1984 a parasitological survey was carried out on 103 foxes killed in the forli province (italy). the parasites identified were: toxocara canis (45.6%); uncinaria stenocephala (14.6%); mesocestoides lineatus (9.7%); dipylidium caninum (2.9%); taenia crassiceps (2.9%); trichuris vulpis (2.9%). out of all the cestodes found in 7 animals the authors identified only genus taenia since their preservation conditions were not optimal. other 13 subjects contained many ces ... | 1985 | 3870647 |
| changes in ascorbic acid content in various organs and serum of mice experimentally infected with taenia crassiceps (zeder, 1800) cysticerci. | it was demonstrated that helmith infection affects the ascorbic acid content in various tissues of experimental mice. the level of vitamin c in the mouse liver, kidneys, spleen and serum decreases after infection with t. crassiceps. maximum decrease in blood serum was observed on day 7 p.i. at the intensity of infection 15 and 30 cysticerci per mouse. there was a correlation between the intensity of infection and decrease in the ascorbic acid level in the spleen. | 1985 | 4007703 |
